Prerequisites
High-quality preprinted barcode labels with the correct Media ID.
Procedure
1. Locate the recessed area on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Only apply labels as
designated.
Use only this recessed area for attaching the adhesive-backed bar code label.
2. Apply the label completely within the recessed area.
Loading the tape cartridges
The autoloader will power on without cartridges, but needs cartridges before performing data read and write
operations, or any tests or operations that transfer cartridges.
You can use the mailslot to import and export tape cartridges. Or, to load or unload multiple tape cartridges at
a time, remove the magazines and then load the cartridges into them.
Procedure
1. Use the OCP Operations > Unlock Left Magazine option to release the left magazine. If requested,
provide the administrator password to access the magazines.
2. Pull the magazine straight out of the front of the autoloader.
3. Insert the tape cartridges into the slots.
By default, the slots are numbered 1 to 8, starting with the front left slot. To use the mailslot feature, leave
the slot in the front of the left magazine empty. The rest of the slot numbers are adjusted as shown.
4. Replace the magazine in the autoloader.
5. Repeat for the right magazine. The right magazine does not have a mailslot option.
